Detailed instructions for
preparation of a new kernel product we know as "Gourmet Copra"

A comprehensive summary of the health benefits gained by regular consumption of coconut oil - in the fresh kernel, in gourmet copra, or extracted and known as Virgin Coconut Oil

The Cocosplit team’s Mission
Statement: COCONUT REDEMPTION

These two words acknowledge that coconut as food was, from the 1960s,
presented to the world by the marketers of competing food oils as a danger to heart health
in spite of its role since antiquity as a key component in the diet of tropical coastal communities.

Since the unqualified attacks on the value of coconut in the diet, independent
research into the complex world of dietary fats and oils has exonerated coconut..

The Cocosplit team (Mike,
Richard and Owen) is dedicated to join the many others who promulgate the many benefits
of coconut in the diet, rebutting the wrongful claims that are still being made by competing marketers.
Likewise many diet and health professionals in importing countries are not yet fully aware of recent
research findings about the particular benefits of diverse dietary fats and oils.

The principal purpose of the Cocosplit team is to provide this simple yet remarkably effective tool,
Cocosplit, that gives simple direct access to the juice and kernel of the mature coconut. Tools for extraction
of the kernel from the half-nut complete the “do-it-yourself” kit for preparing fresh coconut to eat direct or process further.

Links are provided here to many other web-sites, opening the door to a wide range
of reports on coconuts, coconut juice and oil, and their many potential health benefits.

stable food, rich in medium-chain fatty

system, and providing protection against

viral infective organisms.

In a diet that also contains the
essential omega 3 and omega 6 oils

impact on heart health.
